German term or phrase: Kaffeekuchen

Tresterbehälter, 15-20 Kaffeekuchen, kann ohne Öffnen der Tür entnommen werden

It is obvious what is meant, but does anyone have a bright idea how to name this baby?

Coffee grounds (15-20 portions)

Explanation:
Using my 4-language instruction manual for my Jura (Swiss) coffee machine as a guide, they use "coffee grounds" in English and "Kaffeesatz" in German (marc in French, by the way). Tresterbehälter is the German for "grounds container" (also used by Jura)so I am reasonably convinced that Kaffeekuchen isn't in this text a nice piece of cake.
